Question

Suppose that a bus is traveling at 50 mi/h cast along Main Street- and that you're on
the bus running to the front of the bus at 10 mi/h. What is your velocity relative to
Main Street? That's easy...60 mi/h east. Vectors are not necessary to solve this
problem. However, if you can understand how vectors work in simple situations as
shown below, then you can understand how they work in more complex situations.
